Gallery | Hiking | Fall Colors on the White Pine Mountains: October 4, 2008

Mark and I wanted to immerse ourselves in the yellow glow of autumn aspens, and we knew just the place to find them. The trail/road that runs up to West White Pine mountains flows through one of the largest stands of aspen in Larimer County.
